"Chelsea, of late, have had a little bit of a blip so hopefully they'll keep dropping points and we can capitalise on it," said Gerrard.
"All we've got to do is concentrate on what we're doing, keep on winning, keep moving up the table and we're all confident this season can be a success - hopefully we'll be delivering a trophy and getting involved in the title race.
"Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal will still be there, the main challengers, but it's great to see other teams doing really well. The Premier League is looking really strong.
"No-one wants to see Chelsea run away with it - obviously Chelsea do - but everyone else wants to see an exciting title race and that is what we have to aim for.
"The manager has brought in some tremendous players and the squad is looking really strong. I'm sure he will strengthen even more in January and we can be a good force this season."
